Chapter 253 Painkillers

"I just drank coffee, so I can't take painkillers now." Shirley shook her head and put it in her pocket: "It's better to stand up. Eating too much of this kind of thing is not good for your health."

"Yeah, but it's okay to take some painkillers once in a while. Our medicine has a relatively mild effect." He Nan persuaded her like this: "...Don't take it just like some people do."

The abuse of painkillers in the United States is very serious. People often take a lot of them for a little pain—for example, it’s just a simple bruise or headache. Extremely strong painkillers that are logically only suitable for postoperative patients and terminally ill patients are suppressed.

Many of these painkillers contain opioid ingredients and are addictive.

Although it is so dangerous, many people turn a blind eye to its harm, and even feed it to children casually, cultivating potential addicts since childhood.

There will even be painkillers in various flavors sold on supermarket shelves in large bottles.

Such as chocolate, cherry...

Children can easily buy it and even eat it as candy.

Even doctors often prescribe them casually for medical treatment.As long as you say it hurts, it will be prescribed.

Pharmaceutical companies have serious collusion with the U.S. government, and the law also protects them. Therefore, even though there are always people calling for the control of painkillers, it has little effect.Some even say that the control of painkillers is inhumane and unfree, because it violates people's right to refuse pain.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with feeling the pain properly." Shirley leaned on the seat, clutching her lower abdomen, and closed her eyes: "Isn't that what living things are all about?"

"Are you trying to say that only when you feel pain can you feel alive?"

"As for it? I haven't reached the point where I'm so numb to life. If I say this casually, it feels like the second disease." Shirley smiled bitterly: "I mean, if you can't bear the pain, the key Time counts."

"Because I couldn't bear the pain and lost the key opportunity to fight back?"

"...Maybe it's about running away." Shirley narrowed her eyes and looked out the window with a smile: "After today's incident, we may offend more gangs...It is true that they cannot confirm our identity, but being suspected That's enough trouble. Then you have to be prepared to walk down the street and get shot dead."

"I don't feel like being assassinated casually by them, but... of course we have to be on guard." He Nan admitted this: "I'm more worried that someone will catch us. It's best that nothing happens."

"Do you think the probability is high?"

"...Half and half." Hor Nan couldn't be sure, "Compared to this, it's better to discuss how to deal with Barov."

"What, you want to kill him?" Shirley glanced at He Nan: "Then you have to plan carefully."

"No, you can't kill him." He Nan frowned: "It's not the right time yet. We need to find a chance to ruin his reputation. Exposing Barov's evil deeds to the public is the worst way to make his life worse than death."

"Hmm...that's true." Shirley pondered for a moment: "...well, but Barov might take revenge on us again?"

"Then let him come." He Nan snorted, his face full of disdain: "This dog has no skills, and the relationship outside is not strong, just a small role that thinks it is very important. Such a publicity, sooner or later, it will be taken away." Kill yourself. Let's just watch the show."

"Hehe... Speaking of which..."

"……What's wrong."

"It suddenly occurred to me that the slime monster might be looking for the smiling shark for something."

"...for what?"

"Eat seals."

"...It's not the only thing."

"Of course it's possible. You said that the quality of the seal meat that arrived today is very good, right? What if the slime monster has a very good relationship with him, so you want to share it together?"

"...That's right."

"Also... I thought about it carefully, and I think there may be two slime monsters."

"How to say?"

"I remember from the surveillance video that the slime monster that entered our house was only about 1.8 meters tall. But the one I saw today on the third basement floor was almost two and a half meters tall. And it was very strong."

"Ah...there may indeed be two." He Nan could only say: "Or it can change its shape freely."

"Well, who made it possible to get in through the window? If that's the case, it shouldn't be a problem to change the height." Shirley nodded slowly: "...But the feeling is still very bad."

He Nan knew that the venom could indeed change the body shape to a certain extent.

But he couldn't tell Shirley directly about this, so he could only use guesswork.

After that, the two arrived at home while chatting about the case together.

Shirley went to take a bath, and He Nan contacted Moonlight Knight again, and gave him the newly obtained rhino potion on the roof.

The moment he took the medicine tube, he looked it over carefully and sneered.

"Is this what you're after?"

"what happened?"

"...The color really matches the rhinoceros."

Moonlight Knight put away the tube of gray potion and said with a snort.

"Okay, I'll take it back and analyze it...but I may not get much results. You have to be mentally prepared."

"What kind of preparation?"

"It means that you may not be able to find something like an antidote." Moonlight Knight said in a low voice: "This thing is an addictive drug, and it also has hypnotic power, and the mechanism of its effect is often complicated."

"Then, what about the potion we found at Marvell's before? Did you analyze anything?"

"I've made some progress. I'm doing an experiment." Moonlight Knight mentioned this and snorted: "The chip is the same... But the progress is not as much as the potion. Using the two together, maybe we can find out more things... These Just don't worry about it, I will let you know if there is any progress."

"Uh, is it an experiment..." He Nan squeezed his sweat: "Could it be a living person? "

"So what? I don't think it's cruel, it's just a mental blow." The Moonlight Knight didn't care about it at all: "Some villains were meant to be killed in the first place, and now let them contribute to the great scientific research cause before they die." What’s wrong with making a contribution. Do you still have to pity them? It’s not worth it, allowing them to atone for their sins in this way is actually helping them.”

"Hmm... makes sense." He Nan had no objection to this matter from the beginning, so he nodded awkwardly: "Where's the mask? Is the imitation successful?"

"No, I tried it and felt that there is no need to waste time. There is no possibility of restoring the ability." Moonlight Knight turned and walked towards the Moon Helicopter: "I will contact you when I have results."
